These are a fun dessert, or just a nice thing to serve at breakfast or out on the porch on a lazy Spring/Summer afternoon. I like to serve them to my guests while still nice and warm with a dollop of maple syrup whipped cream. Oh, so yummy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

  • 4
    Add the butter to a sauté pan over medium heat.
  • 5
    When the foaming subsides, add the apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • 6
    Cook until the apples soften, about 4 – 6 minutes.
  • 7
    Stir in flour and sauté for an addition minute.
  • 8
    Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and allow to slightly cool, about 10 minutes.

    THE COOKING
  • 10
    Mix the coconut sugar and the cinnamon together in a shallow dish.
  • 11
    Add the oil to a sauté pan, over medium heat, and allow to heat to 300f (150c).
  • 12
    Chef’s Tip: Just wipe out the pan you used for the apples.
  • 13
    Place an eggroll wrapper in front of you, like a baseball diamond.

    Add about a quarter cup of the apple mixture to the center of the wrapper, and brush the edges with some water.
